The
Remained Son
Imam Sajjad ( Ali ibn Husayn entitled Zayn al-abidin
and Sajjad ) was the son of the third Imam , and his wife , the queen
among women , the daughter of Yazdigird the king of Iran . He was the
only son of Imam Husayn to survive, for his other three brothers Ali
Akbar , aged twenty-five , five year old Ja'far and Ali Asghar ( or
Abdullah ) who was a suckling baby , were martyred during the event of
Karbala . The Imam had also accompanied his father on the journey that
terminated fatally in Karbala, but because of severe illness and the
inability to carry arms or participate in fighting he was prevented from
taking part in the holy war and being martyred . So he was sent with the
womenfolk to Damascus . After spending a period in imprisonment he was
sent with honor to Medina because Yazid wanted to conciliate public
opinion . But for a second time , by the order of the Umayyad caliph ,
Abd al-Malik , he was chained and sent from Medina to Damascus and then
again returned to Medina.The Lonely Imam
The fourth Imam , upon returning to Medina , retired from public life
completely, closed the door of his house to strangers and spent his time
in worship . He was in contact only with the elite among the Shi'ites
such as Abu Hamzah Thumali , Abu Khalid Kabuli and the like . The elite
disseminated among the Shi'ah the religious sciences they learned from
the Imam . In this way Shi'ism spread considerably and showed its
effects during the imamate of the fifth Imam . Among the works of the
fourth Imam is a book called Sahifah sajjadiyah. It consists of
fifty-seven prayers concerning the most sublime Divine sciences and is
known as 'The Psalm of the Household of the Prophet'. The fourth Imam
died ( according to some Shi'ite traditions poisoned by Walid ibn Abd
al-Malik through the instigation of the Umayyad caliph Hisham ) in
95/712 after thirty-five years of imamate.
